CrossReference (Episode 3)

Resources Collection cover image

A few weeks ago I introduced you to a series of short films that focus on Christ’s appearances in the Old Testament as the Angel of the Lord. Every Wednesday for 10 weeks I will be posting a new episode right here at the blog. This will allow you to view the series in its entirety. Do note, though, that each episode will be available for only one week.

This week’s episode is a day late. I’ve been running around like a mad man here at the Gospel Coalition conference. I had hoped to shoot some video and do other fun things. It hasn’t happened. I’ve just been going from meeting to meeting and spending time hanging out with people I only see every year or two. So that made this video fall from yesterday until today. It’s also meant that A La Carte has disappeared. So I apologize for that. Things should return to normal tomorrow.

Back to the video…

After the week is up you will need to purchase the series. Here’s how you can do that. The DVD and Study Guide (sample here) are available for pre-order, and will be launched at The Gospel Coalition Conference Preaching Christ from the Old Testament on April 12. However, you can buy the digital download of the whole series here for $5. Or visit Ligonier’s online store for the download or to pre-order the DVD and Study Guide.

This episode is titled “The Well of the Living Sight.”

David Murray is Professor of Old Testament and Practical Theology at Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He was a pastor in Scotland for 12 years before coming to Grand Rapids in 2007 with his wife Shona and their four children. He blogs regularly at Head Heart Hand.

    When Christians Disagree

    Wouldn’t it be nice if Christians only ever got along? Wouldn’t it be grand if all the discord we see in the world around us was completely foreign to the church? Wouldn’t it be heavenly if believers ever only experienced peace? I suppose it would be heavenly and, therefore, more than we can realistically hope…

    Maybe We Make Meditation Too Difficult

    Of all the Christian disciplines, it is my guess that meditation may be the least practiced—though I suppose fasting might have something to say about that. Most people diligently make time to read the Bible and pray. And yet, while most people have good intentions when it comes to meditation, it so often seems to…
